To determine young people's knowledge of energy drinks (EDs), factors influencing ED consumption, and intervention strategies to decrease ED consumption in young people.
Eight group interviews with young people (aged 12-25 years).
Community groups and secondary schools in Perth, Western Australia.
Forty-one young people, 41% of whom were male and 73% of whom consumed EDs.
Factors influencing ED consumption and intervention strategies informed by young people to reduce ED consumption.
Two researchers conducted a qualitative content analysis on the data using NVivo software.
Facilitators of ED consumption included enhanced energy, pleasant taste, low cost, peer pressure, easy availability, and ED promotions. Barriers included negative health effects, unpleasant taste, high cost, and parents' disapproval. Strategies to reduce ED consumption included ED restrictions, changing ED packaging, increasing ED prices, reducing visibility in retail outlets, and research and education.
Because many countries allow the sale of EDs to people aged <18 years, identifying ways to minimize potential harm from EDs is critical. This study provided unique insights into intervention strategies suggested by young people to reduce ED consumption. In addition to more research and education, these strategies included policy changes targeting ED sales, packaging, price, and visibility. Future research might examine the feasibility of implementing such interventions.
确定年轻人对能量饮料的了解、影响能量饮料消费的因素，以及减少年轻人能量饮料消费的干预策略。
对年轻人（年龄在12 - 25岁之间）进行8次小组访谈。
西澳大利亚州珀斯的社区团体和中学。
41名年轻人，其中41%为男性，73%消费能量饮料。
影响能量饮料消费的因素以及年轻人提出的减少能量饮料消费的干预策略。
两名研究人员使用NVivo软件对数据进行定性内容分析。
能量饮料消费的促进因素包括精力增强、口感宜人、成本低、同伴压力、容易获得以及能量饮料促销。障碍包括对健康的负面影响、味道不佳、成本高以及父母的反对。减少能量饮料消费的策略包括对能量饮料进行限制、改变能量饮料包装、提高能量饮料价格、减少在零售店的可见度以及开展研究和教育。
由于许多国家允许向18岁以下人群销售能量饮料，因此确定将能量饮料潜在危害降至最低的方法至关重要。本研究为年轻人提出的减少能量饮料消费的干预策略提供了独特见解。除了更多的研究和教育之外，这些策略还包括针对能量饮料销售、包装、价格和可见度的政策变化。未来的研究可以考察实施此类干预措施的可行性。
